* DumbBlonde: Beauty is blonde. She constantly has a flat, spaced-out tone of voice. At one point, Old Man asks her a question, and she just stares blankly without saying anything for several seconds. Also, she randomly gets upset at the Beast because she thinks he's mean, even when he's trying to be nice to her.

[[caption-width-right:350:Translation: "A story told by an idiot." This is a parody, alright.]]

The timeless tale of ''Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast'', finally retold with the magic of Creator/DingoPictures! Isn't this delightful?

...Okay, not really. This video, made by WebVideo/{{Phelous}}, is actually a parody of both ''Beauty and the Beast'' and Dingo Pictures' SignatureStyle. It tells a much less wholesome version of the story in which the characters are much ruder and kill/hurt each other with little provocation. [[ComedicSociopathy And it is hilarious]].

This video is a second for Phelous, who normally does reviews of animated films. He previously made a Dingo Pictures-styled parody of ''Film/CabinFever'' as an AprilFools episode. It has its own self-contained story (though it includes some of Phelous' in-jokes) and while Phelous is usually the only star of his videos, this video has a much larger voice cast (though Phelous still does his funny voices for Wabuu, the Beast, Old Man, and Wuschel.); additional voices include Creator/AllisonPregler[[note]]who previously co-starred in ''Cabin Fever''[[/note]], Kaylyn "WebVideo/MarzGurl" Saucedo, Julien "Sad Panda" Diaz, Creator/HarryPartridge, Jonathan "Creator/ChaosD1" Burkhardt, and Andrew Dickman.

You can watch it [[https://youtu.be/IHg05OSENFk here]]. The ''Cabin Fever'' parody can be seen [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=jo6W1jWh-V0 here]].

!!I surely do love reading tropes:
* AbusiveParents: Old Man dislikes his children (he outright says that Beauty is worth far more to him than her less beautiful siblings). But later, he sells his favorite Beauty to the Beast. One of her sisters is even burned by her father.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Nearly everyone is more of a jerk than they are in traditional versions of the fairytale:
** Beauty, normally a pure-hearted heroine, claims she would sell her father's soul for more books, and kills/beats up some of the Beast's servants for saying anything she doesn't want to hear. She also only wants to marry the Beast for his money.
** The Beast is more of a DirtyCoward than other versions. He tries to bribe Wabuu into not killing him. He also never learns to love like other versions of the Beast do.
** With Old Man, this is either played straight or averted depending on your point of reference. In ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeastGolden1992'', his debut, he was meant to be a lovable character. In Phelous' videos, he's an abusive {{Jerkass}}. Here, he's much the same as in Phelous' other videos.
** On a similar note, Wabuu was meant to be lovable in the Dingo Pictures movies he comes from, but his evil characterization here is perfectly in line with Phelous' version of him.
* AnachronismStew: The original ''Beauty and the Beast'' tale and most of its adaptations take place in the 18th century, but Old Man is shown driving a car at one point. Can be chalked up to RuleOfFunny.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Beauty's surprised by a talking cat, but not by the talking raccoon who wants to marry her.
* BadBoss: Wabuu [[spoiler:shoots his sidekick Wuschel twice.]]
* TheBadGuyWins: In the end, [[spoiler:Wabuu kills the Beast and forces Beauty to marry him.]]
* BigBad: Wabuu the raccoon, who takes the place of Gaston from Disney's version. He causes a lot of trouble because he wants to marry Beauty.
* BigOMG: The Beast says "MA GAWD!" three times.
* BloodierAndGorier: There are blood effects in some death scenes, mostly for BlackComedy. This gore is not present in most versions.
* BookBurning: When the family can't afford more books, Old Man burns books Beauty already possesses (and one of his children).
* {{Bookworm}}: Beauty would sell her father's soul for books.
* BribeBackfire: The Beast tries to end the battle with a cheque, but [[spoiler: Wabuu refuses and shoots him.]]
* CaptainObvious: Wabuu snarky thanks Wuschel "for stating the obvious" after the squirrel stated Wabuu's popularity with girls.
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** Wabuu's "... is/are soooooo stuuuuupid."
** [[NoNameGiven Old Villager]]: "Wait what?"
** The Beast says "MA GAWD!" three times.
* DelayedReaction: Old Man asks "Beauty, what would you like?" Beauty doesn't react for almost 20 sec.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Wabuu [[spoiler: shoots Wuschel for his "soooo stuuuupid" foreshadowing and later for trying to start up the villain song again when he and the other lackeys had already ruined it.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: One of the characters has 3 arms when firing a gun. After Oro lampshades this, he flies away. Said man never wanted to cause any trouble, so he [[spoiler: jumps off a cliff.]]
* DysfunctionalFamily: In Beauty's family, they hate each other.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Oro appears in this short.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Wuschel says at the beginning of the movie no beast can survive Wabuu's gun.
-->'''Wabuu:''' Your {{Foreshadowing}} is soooo stuuuuupid.
* FracturedFairyTale: This is a cynical, BlackComedy-filled retelling of Beauty and the Beast in which almost everyone is an AdaptationalJerkass. It ends with [[spoiler:the villain, Wabuu, [[TheBadGuyWins killing the Beast and marrying Beauty]] like he wanted.]] However, the ''primary'' target of the parody is actually Creator/DingoPictures, a company known for making low-budget animated movies sometimes based on fairy tales.
* FunWithHomophones: Beauty wants flour, Old Man brings her a flower.
* GilliganCut: This scene:
-->'''Old Man:''' But I have a plan!\\
(cut to Old Man driving in his car)\\
'''Old Man:''' I have no plan.\\
'''Narrator Snake:''' Indeed, the stupid old man had no plan.
* GoldDigger: Beauty only wants to marry the Beast for his money.
* IdleRich: The Beast is rich, so he doesn't do anything (according to himself).
* InterspeciesRomance: Wabuu, a raccoon, is in love with Beauty, a human woman, [[spoiler:and ends up marrying her]]. As with most versions of BATB, Beauty is also in love with the Beast, a lion-headed beast.
* LampshadeHanging:
** Oro lampshades that one of the characters has 3 arms when firing a gun. 
** One of the Beast's servants lampshades that Beauty's surprised by a talking cat, but not by the raccoon who wants to marry her.
* LosingHorns: The "wah-wah-waaah"-soundeffect when Wabuu [[spoiler: shoots Wuschel.]]
* MeaningfulName: Old Man says that Beauty's the only one of his offspring who's beautiful enough for the name Beauty.
* {{Narrator}}: The short has its own narrator character in the form of a female snake with glasses.
* OffingTheOffspring: When the family can't afford more books, Old Man burns books Beauty already possesses and one of his children.
* OffModel: One of the characters has 3 arms when firing a gun. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded by Oro.]]
* OnceUponATime: "...there was a damn idiot in a castle." (the first line of this webvideo.)
* OneSteveLimit: Averted and played for laughs. Wabuu talks about Old Man at one point, causing the other old man who says "Wait, what?" to think Wabuu is talking about him.
* {{Parody}}: ''[[https://youtu.be/IHg05OSENFk Beauty and the Beast (Dingo Pictures)]]'' is an animated retelling of ''Beauty and the Beast'' done in the style of Creator/DingoPictures to mock them. Like Dingo Pictures' infamous movies, it has crude drawings, choppy animation, and dull voice acting, but [[StylisticSuck intentionally]].
* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: Most of Old Man's children appear to be young adults... but one of them is an elderly-looking nun.
* ScrewTheMoneyThisIsPersonal: When Wabuu realizes that Beauty is at the Beast's castle, he plans to MurderTheHypotenuse so he can marry Beauty. The Beast tries to bribe Wabuu into not killing him. Wabuu [[spoiler:refuses and murders the Beast anyway]].
* ShoutOutToShakespeare: "Eine Geschichte, die von einem Idioten erzählt wurde" is a shoutout to Theatre/MacBeth: "It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
* ShowDontTell: The narrator points out things that had happened off-screen because they either were lazy or forgot to mention.
* TalkingAnimal: Several. A raccoon, a squirrel, a dinosaur, the Beast's servants...
* TooDumbToLive: Jump into the noose on the gallows - Why?
* UnexplainedAccent: Parodied with the inexplicably Cockney-accented French villager.
--> '''Villager:''' Oi, oi, oi! It sure is great to be here in France and be French! Oh no, 'ere come that Beauty! I hate her and her books!
* UnexplainedRecovery: Wabuu [[spoiler:shoots Wuschel at two different points in the video.]] How [[spoiler:Wuschel]] got better after the first time is never explained.
* VillainSong: Parodied.
** Wabuu plays the role of Gaston from Disney's ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', so at one point some characters in the tavern attempt to sing the song "Gaston" but with Wabuu's name. Due to their grating voices and lack of musical accompaniment, it sounds terrible, and the "song" is over after just a few seconds. Wabuu is not pleased.
--->'''Wabuu:''' That was it? That song was soooo lame!
** A few minutes later, Wuschel is singing the song again, but Wabuu tells him it's too late now [[spoiler:and shoots him.]]
--->'''Wabuu:''' It's too late to suck up through song now, Wuschel!
* YouHaveFailedMe: Wabuu [[spoiler:shoots Wuschel]] for trying to start up the VillainSong again when he and the other lackeys had already ruined it once.
